LONDON & ASSOCIATED PROPERTIES PLC (“LAP”):

AGREEMENT TO SELL BRIXTON MARKETS FOR £37.25M

LAP today announces that it has exchanged contracts to sell both Market Row
and Brixton Village in Brixton (“Brixton Markets”) for £37.25 million
cash to a private group of property companies.  Brixton Markets were let in
their entirety in 2011 to Market Village Ltd and currently produce a combined
net income of c £1.2 million per annum.

LAP acquired Brixton Markets as part of the Atlantic Group of Companies in
2006.  Their last combined published book value at December 2016 was £24.5
million.  £16 million of the proceeds will be used to repay debt, and the
balance will be added to our cash reserves.

John Heller, Chief Executive, said:  “Brixton Markets were in a state of
decline when we acquired them, with significant levels of voids.  Following a
programme of intense and proactive management, we are proud that today they
are home to arguably the most vibrant restaurant scene in London.  We will
now look for new projects where we can use our management skills to create
similar strong levels of growth”. 

Ends.
